Within reasonable driving distance are Britain's top theme park, Alton Towers, as well as the rocky Dark Peak and the softer limestone White Peak. The spectacular caverns in neighbouring Castleton and Little John's burial site in Hathersage are both well worth a visit, as are the other stately homes to be visited, including Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall, and Hardwick Hall to name a few.

On our stay over Christmas we found a pill of bagged dog dirt outside the front door that had not been cleared, the bulbs went in the bathroom, non were provided we messaged the maintenance number with no response. The handle fell off the oven which we had to refit, we discovered the extractor fan in the kitchen was not properly fitted so doesnât work. Aside from this there were a few minor irritations such as poor showers, no shower gel provided, kitchen not equipped as stated (e.g. no cafetière) and no bin bags in the bin or provided.

We had a blocked toilet when we arrived, phoned and reported it and they sorted it within two hours, good service. Cottage was perfect for our short stay, the only downside was the beds, very hard mattresses and not at all comfortable. The rear garden is shared but only one set of outdoor furniture, would be good to clear the garden area by the steps for another set.
